Hi Mr. Kolvir

Did you watch the You Tube video by Olga Batcharov that shows a LOT of pages of this book?  If I was building a 74 built to the 1750 Establishment I would invest the $30 needed to get it.  This should go well with the five contemporary plans of Valiant at the RMG Collections site and the scantlings from the 1750 Establishment which are readily available as well.

 

This could be a really good project!

PLEASE take 30 SECONDS and sign up for the epic Nelson/Trafalgar project if you would like to see it made into a TV series.   Click on http://trafalgar.tv   There is no cost other than the 30 seconds of your time.  THANK YOU

No, I didn't know about those videos, thank you. I was also wondering if it would be a good reference. I don't know much about it, knowing that it is aimed at 1750 is a big help too.

Don't neglect the contemporary drawings at RMG Collections -  https://www.rmg.co.uk/collections/objects/search/Valiant plans   - and the scantlings which can be found in the book Scantlings of Royal Navy Ships which includes the 1719, 1745, and 1750 Establishments.  They should make for a complete set of information for you.

The plans on the RMG site are low res but you can buy high res from them although they are not cheap.  There are five high res plans of the 74s Ramillies' (1763); 'Terrible' (1762); 'Russell' (1764); 'Invincible' (1765); 'Magnificent' (1766); 'Prince of Wales' (1765); 'Marlborough' (1767); and 'Robust' (1764) on the Wiki Commons site that you may find to be better as they are super clear and will be apropos for a mid 18th century 74.   They can be found on page two of https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Category:Ship_plans_of_the_Royal_Museums_Greenwich&filefrom='Hayling'+(1760)+RMG+J0259.png#mw-category-media   Hope this is a little help.
